The Republican governor will meet with the PennLive/Patriot-News editorial board on Wednesday to talk about his $28.4 billion budget proposal for the fiscal year that starts on July 1.

With spending for public schools, higher education, prisons, public welfare programs and roads and bridges on the table, there'll be plenty to talk about. And don't forget his plans to spin off the Pennsylvania's Lottery and the state-owned liquor stores.

Send your e-mails to Opinion Editor John L. Micek no later than 12 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 20. We'll ask as many of them as time allows. You can also leave proposed questions for the governor in the comments section below.
